Zee expects full encryption of bouquet by 10 June

The Zee bouquet of channels, which was expected to go pay from 1 June, will become fully encrypted from 10 June, official sources in the channel said.

Zee has fixed the price of its complete bouquet package (including Alpha) at Rs 30.

The promoter of a Mumbai-based cable network, however, pointed out that this could be delayed further because some set top boxes had yet to reach the respective headends (he counted himself among those who had not received the decoders).

The Zee official clarified that while decoders may not have reached some headends, by and large the process had been completed and the network was going ahead with activating the encrypted feed from 10 June. There might be some initial teething problems but that would get sorted out over the next few days, he said.
